Not [Wayne Holder], that’s for sure. He writes in to let us know about a project he’s been working on for a while that allows you to debug the execution of code on an Arduino with a second Arduino. In ...

However, some boards, like the Arduino Uno and Mega, don’t have built-in debugging support. There are also tiny, low pin count 8-bit microcontrollers, such as some of the Microchip PIC10/12/16 series, ...

Microchip Technology has introduced the MPLAB PICkit Basic, an affordable and versatile in-circuit debugger designed to simplify programming and debugging for engineers, hobbyists, and students. The ...

The 8-bit microcontroller has been the mainstay of embedded-control systems for nearly 20 years. Several popular architectures are available, the devices are available for a low cost, the instruction ...

We’ve all been there. When debugging a microcontroller project, we just want to put in a print statement to figure out what’s going on with the microcontroller in real time. However, advanced embedded ...

The microcontroller (MCU) is a brilliant invention, but it can be truly frustrating when it doesn’t function as expected. Most issues can be traced back to one of two things: a failure to understand a ...

Microcontrollers and FPGAs often work together in embedded systems. As more functions move into the FPGA, however, debugging the interface between the two devices becomes more difficult. The ...
